TESTIMONIALS

For Players Of All Ages:

The Target Base™ is designed to facilitate a safe slide for the novice player, yet enhance the serious players' aggressive slides.

- Frank West, Inventor of the Target Base


Focus On Safety:

The idea of altering the base to create a safer atmosphere is one that should have been thought of many years ago. The number of injuries that can now be avoided, especially at the younger level, is insurmountable.

Target Base simplifies the game for the fielder, the runner and the official. The fielder now has a visible target as a result of the placement of the bright orange section. The runner now has a safer area of the base to step on or slide into. Even the official benefits. They now have a clearer view of a play afforded to them.
